- Story Line - 

In a far and distant future....

As the world's population grew our cities became dangerously overcrowded.

With no where left to build - a solution was found by the world's governments -
massive city domes were to be built. These domes would be constructed on the
ground where the old crime and disease ridden cities stood. Whole areas were
cleared using advanced weapons creating vast deserts. Most of the populous were
happy to be at last given a much higher quality of life, but some who fed off
the despair created in the old world were not so happy...

Those who refused to comply with the new world order took supplies and
equipment to start new lives away from the Domes. These people soon became
jealous of the Dome dwellers and soon turned to crime whilst visiting the domes
to trade. Life was much tougher on the outside and tensions grew between
communities. This escalated into fighting and a tough new policing was needed
to protect the Dome's from attack from the outsiders - the Dome Troopers.
Heavily armed defence walls were erected.

You were chosen to be a Dome Trooper and posted to City Dome Alpha. It is your
role to protect the people and the dome itself. Intelligence suggests that the
'Desert Rebels' have already infiltrated undercover agents into the Dome. They
also have many friends who benefit through illegal trade in arms and contraband.

Your contacts tell of their plan to manufacture a drug so powerful and
addictive - death will follow within days of taking your first 'fix'. It's name
is HAD - High Addiction Drug. To make matters worse they plan to contaminate
the dome's self-contained and highly precious food and water supply with this
drug.

If the rebels are successful the whole city is at risk and all will be lost. 
The rebels will have secured their first stronghold. An official 'neutral zone'
was declared as the first tensions arouse. The rebels chose to ignore this
'safe' area and after the defence walls were built the attacks became more and
more aggressive. Now the neutral zone is a place of extreme danger. No one ever
steps outside the defence wall if they value their lives.

You know your mission, Dome Trooper - City Dome Alpha depends on you.
